I have waited about 6 weeks to post a rveeiw on this product, due to some rveeiws having issues with there subwoofer and other issues. Let me first start off by saying, I have not had any issues with the home theater system (knock on wood).The sound this system makes with my new , is unbelievable. I have the speakers mounted to , except the center speaker which I have sitting on my entertainment center.To calibrate the sound to match your room, use the Audyssey Room Correction that comes with the system. It takes about 15 minutes and makes a world of a difference. You can always adjust the subwoofer to meet your BOOM BOOM needs.In regards to the subwoofer, I have seen a rveeiw that states there is a recall in regards to this, when there is not. The recall is in regards to other models. There is no recall relating to the subwoofer or any piece of equipment in this home theater system.It does come with cheap speaker wire, so I would recommend getting speaker wire that meets your needs for your home theater setup.The one issue I have with this system, is that it only has 4 HDMI inputs. If this system had 6 inputs I would not have an issue. I guess you can call this a gripe and not an issue. I will probably be looking at another receiver in the future, but not any time right now. I also have not experienced any issues that people are having with the previous model to this one with there PlayStation 3.If you’re brand new to home audio, like me, this is the perfect system to meet your needs at the beginning, you will notice a HUGE difference in audio once it’s setup.Photos have been posted, so you can get an idea of how the speakers were mounted.Edit 7/27/12: I noticed my subwoofer turned off and would not come back on. What I’ve read online from various audiophiles is that Onkyo uses standby mode for its subwoofers. If you are using Audyssey to calibrate the speakers/sub, you may need to adjust the crossover settings a bit so that the subwoofer will kick back on from standby mode. After adjusting from 150hz to 120hz, the sub kicked back on and I haven’t seen any other issues.Edit 11/26/12: In edition to trying the previous edit, you can also increase the volume off the receiver to make the sub kick’ back on.
